Well, I reside in Udaipur, which is a major city in Rajasthan. The city is famously known as the City of Lakes. The city has a plethora of places and areas, where its citizens can visit to relax and placate themselves. The place that I usually sojourn to is the Gangaur Ghat. It is the main and historical ghat on the waterfront of the famous Lake Pichola.
As it is the main tourist spot in the old city area, it is always bustling with tourists and locals alike. It is the site of the traditional Gangaur festival and Jal Jhulni festival. Its a fantastic location to just take memorable pictures on the ghat and sit on ghat steps to unwind oneself and enjoy the mesmerising sunset views. Moreover, as the ghat is located adjoining Lake Pichola, there are endless places to visit in the vicinity. For instance, Jag mandir, Mohan Mandir, etc. I also enjoy the amazing sunset boat ride in the lake, once in a while, to spend some alone time in the tranquility and calm my mind.
Furthermore, I love to go on a shopping spree in the market near the ghat. You can find some enchanting and exquisitely carved accessories and clothes of latest fashion. Also, the light blue waters during sunrise, the strange blue waters that look gold touched during the day and the majestic orange during the evenings reflecting the palace lights can be any photographer’s muse. The enchanting palaces, islands in the lake, nearby temples and ghats always fascinate me and have a soothing effect on me whenever I visit them. So, I do visit the place as much as I can and love to spend time there.
